I wrote this poem awhile back, but have never shared it on this blog...I have another poem in the works, but it's coming along slowly.

My girl is the result of more fun with Procreate and other apps - I drew her in Procreate and added one of my painted backgrounds. I then moved her into iColorama and used Distort and Effects to create the patterns and double exposure effect. I thought the pattern might give the effect of "whorls" and memories. That's the wonderful thing about apps - you can take a drawing that's not very good and make it look much more artistic!

I love how you end with a quote which seems to permeate the soul of this poem - onion skin paper - a striking image...peeling back layer after layer..tough..can make you cry but maybe once done worthwhile? The image is stunning also

This is some great writing with a lot of symbolism, but I felt like the poem was kind of "divided." What I mean to say is that I felt like there could have been some better transitions between one stanza to another. It felt like I was reading two poems that you merged together into one.
